Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a system comprising a first mobile device (A), a second mobile device (B) and a location tracking server (S), said mobile devices being able to establish device-to-device direct connection and means for executing a neighbor awareness function to determine clusters made of neighbor mobile devices, and for joining at least a subset of said clusters; and said location tracking server (S) being adapted to receive from said mobile devices identification of the clusters of said subset, and to detect that said first and second mobile devices are in proximity by determining a least one common cluster, according to said identifications; and, as a result, to provision configuration data to said mobile devices, so as to trigger said mobile devices to establish a direct connection, enabling sharing said resource.
